[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher and have never heard of an actual policy before, and I don’t tutor so it’s not a concern of mine. A friend’s DCPS school sent this out though:
 
Q: Can a family hire DCPS teachers and staff to tutor or supervise a student outside of their tours of duty? 
A: DCPS teachers or staff may not be employed by a family whose child attends the school where the teacher or staff member works. DCPS employees, including teachers, are bound by strict DC ethics regulations regarding outside employment and conflicts of interest. These prohibit DCPS staff members from tutoring students who attend the school where that staff member is employed. Additionally, teachers providing tutoring services to any students, regardless of whether the students attend DCPS, may not tutor students during their tour of duty, may not use government resources or non-public DCPS information while tutoring, and may not advertise their services (or allow the family to advertise their services) by describing their DCPS employment.[/quote]

I just scoured DCPs and did not find this document. Please attach a link. I think this may be written by your friend’s school. There are programs run by DCpS where teachers are paid admin premium to tutor DCPS kids. I know you can’t tutor in a DC building but I have not read anything the quoted mentions. [/quote]

Like I said, as a teacher I have never seen this before and it was sent by a principal. I don’t know how to link an email. [/quote]
